# Call for Papers
We invite submissions to the COLM 2025 Workshop on AI Agents: Capabilities and Safety, to be held in Montreal, Canada during the COLM 2025 conference (October 7-10, 2025).
The 1st Workshop on AI Agents offers a comprehensive overview of AI agents, investigating their capabilities—including reasoning and planning, interaction and embodiment, and real-world applications—as well as critical safety challenges related to reliability, ethics, and human-agent interaction.

We welcome contributions on a wide range of topics related to AI agents, including but not limited to:
* Learning and Inference Algorithms / Architectures
* Interfaces and Embodiment
* Orchestration and Control
* Safety and Societal Implications
* Human-Agent Interaction, Alignment, and Personalization
* Applications for Science and Real-World Use
* Benchmarking and Evaluation
We invite both theoretical and empirical work from a range of disciplines, and encourage interdisciplinary submissions that bridge machine learning, robotics, NLP, HCI, ethics, and cognitive science.
